Squire
A squire was the shield bearer or armour bearer of a knight, and at times squires included a knight's errand runner or servant. Use of the term has evolved over time. In the Middle Ages, squires were trainees to a knight but later a leader in an English village or Lord of the Manor might be called a squire, and later key public figures such as justice of the peace or Member of Parliament. In contemporary American usage as well, squire is the title given to Justice of the peace or similar local dignitaries. Squire is a shortened version of the word Esquire, from the Old French escuier, itself derived from the Late Latin scutarius, in medieval or Old English a scutifer. The Classical Latin equivalent was armiger, "arms bearer".
